Cycle Training on Sundays
Rides from Richmond Park
We meet on Sundays at 9.00am at the cafe in the Roehampton Gate car park, Richmond Park . Please avoid blocking the road and pathways for other park users.
Introductory group – this stays within Richmond Park with a focus on learning bike skills such as group riding, bike handling, hill climbing etc. This group is pitched at novice riders but you should have a road bike; otherwise it will be hard to keep up. This group no longer rides every week so check with Serpentine's cycling co-ordinator when the next intro ride rolls.
Medium Group – 80 to 100km to Windsor. This is for you if you are happy riding in a group and comfortable in a bit of traffic, a steady and flat route usually out to Windsor, café stop and then home. Pace will be roughly 23km per hour to 25km per hour. Sometimes a faster group also does this ride.
Surrey Hills Group – this is for you if you are happy riding up to and over 100km in the hills, you are confident riding in a group, still a steady pace of around 25km per hour. Café stop somewhere in the hills – Box Hill or other. Routes may vary.
Rides from Mill Hill
We occasionally meet on Sundays at 9.00am from the Copthall Pools car park on Champions Way, Mill Hill. Check the egroup for confirmation that a ride is taking place.
Medium Group – around 80k of undulating roads in Hertfordshire. You need to be confident riding in a group, with a steady pace of around 20-25km per hour. Café stop at half way. As demand increases we'll be able to have a slower and/or faster group as well.
